Ouch, it's like a punch to the face if you buy it. x_o hey you wanted better cooling? TOO BAD /smack

the spacing on the fins and the overall layout make it look like they went for the cop-out move of the century. Zalman gets away with it because they have a huge array of fins to help remove heat, you can't use less and remotely expect the same result in testing.

:/ they should have chopped it before it went into mass production or at least had the R&D give it another look.
